This second book in the series seems even quirkier than the first, which might serve elementary students better than middle school. The trend of addressing chapters to "My dear reader" (ala The Series of Unfortunate Events) hasn't done well with my students for a while, nor have quirky names (Ugottabekiddingme, Austria, G. Edwina Candlestank). Fans of Primavera's Ms. Rapscott's Girls or Benedict and Sheinmel's The Secrets of Lovelace Academy might like this one.

This was a great collection of short stories by a variety of Southeast Asian authors, and is a good introduction to their work. There are not a lot of collections of fantasy short stories, and this would be good for a unit study on mythology as well. Sadly, short story collections circulate very poorly in my library, and the ones that do get checked out are generally scary tales. Will think about this one.

I really enjoyed the first book in this series, but the second book has not been checked out a single time. With budget cuts, I may have to stop buying sequels, although I've always prided myself in having complete series. This book is 400 pages long, making the series quite a commitment. The ending left this open to another possible book, although it could be the end.
From the publisher:
In the third installment in The Shadow Prince saga, Ash and his friends race against time to save Egypt, again. This time it’s to stop a war with Kush and its raging, roaring, lion-headed god Apedemak.
It takes Ash some convincing–since heroes get tired!–for Princess Sia to enlist him and his friends on a dangerous new quest. Sia believes Prince Rami is being held against his will by Lord Set, the mischievous Egyptian god of chaos. Does she really expect them to go outside of Egypt? All the way to Kush? Besides, didn’t Prince Rami betray them and his family?
Across the border, the kids discover things are worse than they imagined. Lord Set has convinced Apedemak, Kush’s powerful lion god of war, to gather his massive army of the living and dead to invade Egypt.
The odds do not look good for Ash and his friends, but Team Shadow Prince may have a chance when they meet a boy who wields a strange Kushite magic channeled through henna tattoos on his skin.
Will Ash and his friends stand a chance against the mighty rage of lions that threatens all of Egypt? Or will Lord Set’s deadly plan finally bring Egypt to its knees?
